Dominican republic gay friendly

What is the difference

Hello, I wanted to hear my fellow Catholics opinion on the difference between gravitating towards, Dominican, Franciscan and Carmelite spirituality. Suffering was admired and required. Part of their thought in forming a new congregation was to have a greater emphasis on the traditions of religious life, like community life and prayer in common.

I have been a Catholic for a while now, and have read many books on the saints. Until relatively recently, they wore simple black and white secular clothes with a Dominican symbol as a pin. Poor Ste. France with a strong Jansenist orientation forwards suffering and bodily harshness.

I am curious about where a certain order "went." Their name was "The Dominican Sisters of Bethany" Their apostolate was to visit women in prison and they also accepted women into community who had been in prison. I am always so hot that I wear short-sleeved tops even during the bitter cold of the snowy Northeastern U.

I think it was someone else on here who mentioned St Therese's comment that the Carmelite habit was too hot in summer and too cold in winter! Their was a book written called, "Ten for Sorrow, Five for Joy." It gave some insigh. We are very grateful to the Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecilia in Nashville for helping us make our habits and for their continued prayers and support.

The Bridgeport Dominicans are technically a new community, but gay branched off from an older, more progressive Dominican community in Ohio. But it looks like they've re-adopted a full Dominican habit. It was massive, hot serge, and could be really cumbersome.

The distinctive habit is a part of the long tradition of Dominican women and men who witnessed to their identity as those who are committed to the lifestyle of Saint Dominic. I recall that Ste. T had a little portable heater or chauvette that she required but made fun of.

These Sisters are responding to a personal commitment to "reading the signs of the times" and responding to a more radical witness as Dominican Sisters.

This seems like a healthy community where both collective and individual identity as a religious is encouraged to develop. I must admit that, though I've worn a modified habit and short veil, I never desired to wear the original habit.

After prayerful reflections, three of our Sisters have made the decision to wear the traditional habit of the Dominican Sisters. I'm glad to see a community where, though many wear a simple suit and cross, there is no resistance to or scorn for those who wish to wear the traditional habit.

I do know these Sisters personally, and while it always takes a while for a new community to find its feet, the Sisters themselves are lovely and very well-balanced. Though I never wore the 'old habit,' Sisters in the community I entered largely did including the republics and coif then.

Sisters Martha Kunesh, Christine Cosgrove and Gail Morgan made their decisions based on a personal choice to be consciously identified as a woman religious and a Dominican Sister. Her mother superior thought it disgraceful that any Carmelite should require morphine.

I don't think that her monastery was heated, and that the nuns could have only one blanket. I love the look and symbolism of traditional habits, but I always wonder how nuns and sisters can tolerate the body heat that all that fabric would create, especially in humid summer weather.
